“My Self, My Wife, My Truck” is what was filled out in the Car Club Affiliation blank when Dick and Tana Gillette sent in their registration for our Beach Blast 11. Their St. Pete based 1954 Ford Pickup has been chopped 2-1/2 inches, has a ‘98 Ranger Splash bed, and is Poppy Red with a set of flames. Power comes from a 351 Cleveland engine, C-4 automatic, and a 9-inch Ford rear end with 2.73 posi gears. Inside you’ll find brown leather upholstery and a set of digital gauges.
